Switch 2 prod keys and firmware work only in Lichii. Every other Switch emulator reads the same prod.keys format and firmware NCA files for original Switch games, each from its own folder.
| Emulator | Switch 2 games | prod.keys folder (Windows) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lichii | Yes, experimental | %APPDATA%\eden\keys | Active, build 117 |
| Eden | No | %APPDATA%\eden\keys | Active |
| Ryujinx (Ryubing) | No | %APPDATA%\Ryujinx\system | Community continuation |
| Citron | No | %APPDATA%\citron\keys | Active fork of yuzu |
| Yuzu | No | %APPDATA%\yuzu\keys | Discontinued March 2024 |
Can you use the same prod keys in every emulator?
Yes for Switch 1 games: the prod.keys format is shared, so one file works in Eden, Ryujinx, Citron and Yuzu. Switch 2 games need Switch 2 keys, and only Lichii loads them.
Why do Lichii and Eden share a keys folder?
Lichii and Eden share %APPDATA%\eden because Lichii is a fork of Eden that kept its data directories during the rebrand. Keys installed in one appear in the other.
